Green and Gold Whimsical Miniature Dragon Pot Climber Sculpture

Green and Gold Whimsical Miniature Dragon Pot Climber Sculpture

Details

This unique and whimsical miniature dragon was sculpted to hang (or climb) on your potted plants. He was sculpted by hand using Premo polymer clay and is a one of a kind creation. His front feet were sculpted around a wire armature shaped to fit the rim of a ceramic pot. This pot climber dragon will hang on pots with a 1/2 inch wide or smaller rim. He hangs very comfortably and securely as he peers into the lush greenery. These dragon pot climbers add a fun little touch of whimsy to any plant, and they won't even nibble on the leaves or flowers! I textured the dragon's skin to resemble scales and colored it with shades of green, copper, and gold Pearl Ex powders for a beautiful iridescent shimmer. This dragon has a spine starting at the back of each eye and running down the center of his back. I colored the spine with green Pearl Ex powder which fades into gold where the spine meets the dragon's body. This is a very curious and peaceful dragon who enjoys lush green plants. He has golden eyes and I colored his belly scales with gold Pearl Ex as well. His wings hug his body and were sculpted from green Premo polymer clay which I colored with gold Pearl Ex powder, creating a shimmering metallic gold hue. After curing I sealed the entire dragon with high gloss glaze to protect the Pearl Ex powders and create a more durable piece. This cute dragon pot climber measures about 4 inches long from the tip of his nose to the bend of his tail. He can also hang on a variety of surfaces, allowing you to add a whimsical little surprise to any area of your home. Hang him from the corner of a picture, the edge of a vase, on your spice rack- you can have a lot of fun with this whimsical little creature!

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

The first pot climbing dragon sculpture I made was inspired by a piece of art that my boyfriend created from steel, as well as the blue pot that I have my African violets planted in. His sculpture, although created in the abstract, made me think of a dragon. And then the thought of sculpting a dragon to hang on the side of a potted plant popped into my head and that's how my Dragon Pot Climbers came into being. Isn't inspiration an amazing thing? This particular dragon was inspired by the pot that holds our Philodendron. I just love the colors!

What a lovely transaction from start to finish! Great communication and fast shipping from this artisan who has a personable and helpful attitude. Michelle really knows how to make her customers feel important! My cat Chester tried to help me "open" the shipping envelope that had this catnip in it, so I guess he could smell it through two sealed bags! I can't wait to make a toy for him to try it out!
